Cold weather season and a delicious hot soup go hand in hand. You will enjoy my Spicy Vegan Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup Recipe. With the velvety texture, plenty of spice and natural sweetness of fresh butternut squash, this will become you favorite soup! The base of this soup is veggie broth and there is no dairy making this completely vegan and gluten free!

Reasons you will love this dish:

– Everything is done on the stovetop and then mixed with a hand blender. If you don’t have a hand blender or immersion blender, you can use a food processor (blending it in batches),a countertop blender or any high-speed blender. – This is a healthy and easy meal! The Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup is vegan and gluten free! – You can freeze it. Use a freezer safe and airtight container..

Ingredients: – olive oil – russet potato – carrots – butternut squash – white onion large – fresh garlic cloves – fresh ginger – vegetable broth or vegetable stock – water – maple syrup – spices  – salt and black pepper as needed – fresh herbs to garnish

1. Start with preheating a large Dutch Oven or large pot pan over medium-low heat. When the pan is ready, add the olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, potatoes, squash and carrots. 2. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes.

3. Then add in the water and the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat. Partially cover the soup with a lid. 4. Let it cook for about for 25 minutes. Remove the lid, check that the squash is fork tender.

5. Season with additional salt and pepper and add the spices. 6.  Using a hand or regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Taste test to see if more salt is needed. Then add the maple syrup and stir in.

7. Serve this hearty soup with your favorite bread or top with croutons.

Tips: – If it’s your first time working with winter squash, the easiest way to deal with butternut squash is to buy it already cut and peeled. Your local grocery store or Costco will have it. – For more depth of flavor, place the veggies on a baking sheet and let the veggies roast in the oven for about 25-30 min.
